Gennady Aronovich Vengerov is a talented artist and announcer. Until the last minutes of his life, he charged those around him with positive. Friends called Vengerov "a man of action."
Gennady Vengerov knew how not only to go on stage effectively. He managed to leave her beautifully. The diploma of the architectural technical school did not become an obstacle for the artist to do what he loved. He always knew his goals.
The road to art
The future famous performer was born in the Belarusian Vitebsk in 1959, on August 27. Vengerov was a relative of Marc Chagall.
After school, the graduate entered the People's Theater of the House of Culture. Since 1980 Gennady Aronovich moved to the Belarusian Drama Theater. Then there was military service.
After demobilization, the future famous artist went to Moscow. He entered the studio school at the Moscow Art Theater to receive an acting education. Vengerov created his own theater "Sovremennik-2" with Mikhail Efremov as a fourth-year student.
For the rest of their lives, the performers remained best friends. Gennady Aronovich successfully worked at the Mayakovsky Theater. This was followed by a move to Dusseldorf.
Everything turned out unexpectedly. Together with his family, the artist went to act in Israel. The road passed through Germany. As soon as he arrived in the country, Gennady Aronovich decided that he would stay here.
At that time, he, his wife and daughter had nothing but a suitcase with the most necessary things.
A new round
The actor easily learned the state language perfectly in six months, bought a house and settled in Germany. In total, the actor knew six languages.
He became the announcer of Deutsche Welle. The actor played at the Dusseldorf Theater. Since 2004 Vengerov began acting in Russian cinema.

Particularly popular was the participation in the films The Fighter "and" Hour of Volkov ". In the film portfolio of Gennady Aronovich there are more than a hundred paintings. There are Hollywood roles among them.
Purposefulness and determination did not prevent Vengerov from remaining a tomboy in his soul. He loved to make decisions spontaneously, to create things that were absolutely inexplicable from the point of view of logic.
The artist loved to spend time with friends, to bully. He enjoyed every day of his life. Even the approaching death could not change the positive attitude towards everything.
A courageous person walks with difficulty, spoke poorly, but always thanked fate that he could see the sky and the sun, barely opening his eyes. He hoped that the new day would not be his last.
Among the most significant people for Vengerov were his friends. They had known each other since their studies. They were Sergey Shekhovtsov, Mikhail Gorevoy and Mikhail Efremov.
Communication between them did not stop until the end of the artist's life. Gorevoy admitted that for a long time he could not believe his friend's diagnosis.
Beginning of the End
The news was shocking. However, there was still hope for a short stay of a friend in the hospital. Friends hoped that Vengerov would be at home in a short time. However, everything turned out to be much sadder.
The beginning of all the troubles was a broken ankle. Cancer was found in the fracture. At first, they did not believe the news, they considered it a tricky move to attract attention. But the development of the disease proceeded at a rapid pace. It soon became clear that the great artist was dying of lung cancer.
The actor refused to shoot in the capital, but was very worried that he had let down a huge number of people preparing the meeting. However, after a while Vengerov called the director and said that he was ready to fly out.
The condition of the performer was to provide him with a stroller, a car with a spacious trunk and conditions for the flight. Everything was done. Even the artist, dying from illness, remained a professional, thinking about work.
During the treatment, friends came to Gennady Aronovich from Russia. He could hardly speak. The tumor was difficult to treat. The disease was either discovered too late or was in an aggressive stage. The process could only be slowed down.
There was no hope of saving the doctor. The last meeting of the Vengers was called a "living commemoration". He kept up cheerfully.
Having met friends at the airport, the artist proceeded to distribute instructions. The gatherings were no different from the usual meetings. The actors joked, recalled the past. Everyone tried to cheer Gennady Aronovich.
He never once showed his true state. The performer did not even attach any importance to the fact that he was sitting in a wheelchair. The actor did everything so that his friends did not understand that their meeting was the last.
Artist's departure
All together they took Vengerov to the procedures and parted in full confidence in the next meeting. The memory became one of the most pleasant for the actor during his illness.
He always believed that it is very important that loved ones remember a person as he really was. In recent days, Vengerov was looking forward to meeting with Boris Korchevnikov.
The program was scheduled to be released at the end of April 2015. However, on the 20th, Gennady Aronovich called the presenter himself and offered to return the tickets, saying that he would not live to see his arrival.
Around the same time, news of Vengerov's condition filled the front pages of newspapers.
The artist gave an interview in which he talked about his imminent death. He said goodbye to the audience.
This message shocked everyone. Even at such a time, the performer behaved courageously. He asked loved ones to take the news calmly.
The biography of Gennady Aronovich Vengerov was cut short in 2015, on April 22.
